The association hopes the month-long event will educate the public about how professional carwashes are more environmentally friendly than driveway washing. It encourages washes to share the following message with followers: "Take your car to a professional carwash. If your car’s dirty, it’s not just dirt — its grime that contains heavy metals, oil and toxins."

Nonprofits interested in participating can order discounted tickets at www.Charitycarwash.org, reported the release.
